1. How do raw material sourcing and supply chain constraints shape the synthetic pyrethroids market?
Synthetic pyrethroids depend on cyclopropane carboxylic acid esters and chrysanthemic acid intermediates, which are manufactured predominantly in China and India. China accounts for about 60% of global technical-grade production, so port closures or feedstock disruptions can tighten global availability within weeks. Producers are responding by dual-sourcing active ingredients and building formulation capacity in Brazil and Southeast Asia.
